How to Make Grilled Thai Coconut Chicken Skewers
- Make the marinade: Whisk together coconut milk, red curry paste, garlic, ginger, lime juice, fish sauce, and brown sugar.
- Marinate the chicken: Add chicken pieces to the marinade and let sit for at least 1 hour (or overnight for maximum flavor).
- Skewer it up: Thread marinated chicken onto skewers. (If using wooden skewers, soak them in water first.)
- Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high. Grill the skewers for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and slightly charred.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges, rice, or a cooling cucumber salad.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these skewers over jasmine rice, with a side of peanut sauce or sweet chili dipping sauce. For a lighter meal, add them to a salad or wrap them in lettuce leaves with shredded carrots and a drizzle of sriracha mayo.
